“If there were ever to be a bible for all things pizza—and I mean
all things —Ken Forkish has just written it. The detail that
went into this book is so vast and exact that after reading it
you will simply never have another question about any kind of
pizza, from anywhere in the world.”—Marc Vetri, author
of Mastering Pasta and owner of Vetri
“Ken Forkish is one of the world’s great pie men, so it should
be no surprise that The Elements of Pizza is an essential
addition to the pizza canon. Forkish’s formidable intellect
and knowledge, combined with his can-do spirit, will turn any
pizza lover into a pizza maker.”—Ed Levine, founder and CEO of
Serious Eats
“If you’re into pizza—and who isn’t?—The Elements of Pizza is your
new holy book. There’s something here for every cook, from
weeknight-ready recipes to intricate explorations of dough
chemistry. Ken Forkish is clearly a man obsessed, and lucky for us:
much has been written about this globally beloved food, but this
book has them all beat.” —Molly Wizenberg, author of Delancey
and A Homemade Life
“With The Elements of Pizza, Ken Forkish proves there is no right
or wrong style of pizza. The right pizza is whatever you like—and
whether you fancy Neapolitan, Roman, New York, or any other style,
Ken guides you smoothly through the process. But this is not just a
book about crusts and toppings: it is also full of interesting
history and fun stories. In fact, this terrific book
is itself one of the essential elements of making great
pizza at home.” —Nancy Silverton, chef/co-owner of the Mozza
Restaurant Group
“The Elements of Pizza is a cookbook for anyone who loves
pizza—particularly those with a deep appreciation for the crust.
Ken’s own passion for pizza took him to Italy and across the United
States to uncover the techniques and ingredients that make
incredible pizza. Starting from the ground up, this straightforward
guide provides readers of all skill levels with techniques and tips
to master a variety of pizza doughs, and culminates in delicious
recipes that prove that great pizza can be made
everywhere—especially at home.” —Nathan Myhrvold, coauthor of
Modernist Cuisine and author of The Photography of Modernist
Cuisine
